Trio of Garlic Farm Garlic

This trio of garlic includes our two favourite varieties- Iberian Wight (two included) and The Smoked Garlic (one included). The Iberian Wight produces large round cloves of medium strength garlic. It's subtle flavour makes it great for Mediterranean and tapas style dishes where you do not want to over power the fresh simple flavours of the cooking. The Smoked Garlic is smoked by The Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight, it is delicious when slow cooked with tomatoes and your choice of vegetables or meat. Also fantastic mixed into butter to create a smoky garlic bread to pair with your tomatoes. Please note that as the Smoked Garlic is partially cooked, they will feel soft to the touch. Origin of Product: Varies. Understanding sprouting… Garlic is a 'single-harvest' crop so it is natural that bulbs in Spring and early Summer may produce some cloves with green shoots. Those with green shoots are not only safe to eat, they are, in some ways preferable! Peer-reviewed trials published in the 'Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry', state that sprouted garlic is actually even healthier than normal. Plants defend themselves from their most vulnerable time of initial growth by producing phytoalexins, which amongst other benefits, boost the already high antioxidant level of garlic. This is a seasonal product and the appearence of the bulb may vary.
